[RFC PATCH 0/2] mm: continue using per-VMA lock when retrying page faults after I/O

[Barry Song]

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

Oven observed most mmap_lock contention and priority inversion
come from page fault retries after waiting for I/O completion.
Oven subsequently raised the following idea:

There is no need to always fall back to mmap_lock if the per-VMA
lock was released only to wait for pagecache or swapcache to
become ready.

In this case, the retry path can continue using the per-VMA lock.
This is a big win: it greatly reduces mmap_lock acquisitions.

Oven Liyang (1):
  mm/filemap: Retry fault by VMA lock if the lock was released for I/O

Barry Song (1):
  mm/swapin: Retry swapin by VMA lock if the lock was released for I/O
